Rosewood tea caddy
£220
Victorian mahogany three-tier washstand with transfer-printed basin and jug
£485
A complete three-tier washstand with its red and white transfer-printed basin and jug, which is rarer than finding one half of a pair of gloves.
Description
The stand has good height and a useful arrangement of shelves, with turned supports and a shaped gallery. The transfer print keeps it from feeling too polite, while the mahogany has enough warmth to sit easily in an old bedroom or bathroom.
